The Acura Integra Voltage Regulator protects the battery and electronics by staying within the safe 13.5 to 14.5 volt range of alternator output. It is constantly sensing battery level and electrical demand. It then increases or decreases rotor field current so voltage never goes too high or too low. Early versions of the Acura Integra were based on a mechanical external Voltage Regulator, which applied coils and contact points. These parts could pit or stick and risk overcharging. Later cars have a solid state Voltage Regulator that is stuffed with transistors that switch thousands of times per second to bring even faster response and higher reliability. Subsequent generations put the Voltage Regulator within the alternator itself to reduce the clutter of wiring and save space. Updated Acura Integra editions allow the Powertrain Control Module to take over Voltage Regulator duties, taking into account the temperature and ambient heat of the battery as well as the load on the engine to charge the battery more intelligently. Through these stages, the primary difference is the way each design senses conditions and modulates the field current, but all Acura Integra configurations have one thing in common: steady power that protects fuses, lights, and stereo from voltage spikes.
